4 stars This book contains a variety of poems, many of which center around or are related to depression and anxiety. Some of my personal favorites include, “explaining depression to my mother a conversation“, “the loneliest sweet potato”, “minnows”, and “follow-up a prayer / a spell“. When I say the book has a variety of poems, I…

5 stars I went to the library today and promised myself I wouldn’t pick up any more graphic novels until I finished the ones I already had. Then I saw Lint Boy and all bets were off. The good news is, I absolutely loved this book. The style is in the same vein as Tim…

  As a contributor to this collection, I don’t think it is fair for me to give it a star rating, but I wanted to share some of my thoughts on the work. This collection features four of my poems, “The People I Knew”, “Hush”, “Tragedy”, and “Word of Encouragement” as well as a piece…

3 stars I feel horribly betrayed by this book. I read the third book in this series (found it in the lending library) and enjoyed it, so when I saw the first book as an audiobook at the library, I figured it would be a good read. It all started well enough. Fudge is his…

3 stars The second volume finishes up the story of Arrietty. Since this was taken directly from the movie, I knew what was going to happen, but I still enjoyed reading it. It is nice to see stills of the artwork from the movie, especially the scenery. Beautiful. This book is just stills taken from…

4 stars I am always hesitant to read books with dogs on the cover (because I’ve been hurt too many times before), but this one was a nice surprise. An adorable story about how a charismatic dog helped a little girl make friends and find her place in a new town. So cute, absolutely adorable….

2 stars With characters like a sword-wielding penguin and a chicken with ninja powers, I figured this would be a funny and entertaining read. I was wrong. The book is broken down into tiny comics that are usually about one page spread long. They are nice bite-size little comics, but I think sometimes the length…

3 stars Same set-up as the first two book. Four stories that feature one (or two) of the Mane Six (Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie) as well as a side character (Iron Will, Spitfire). This one also included a story about Granny Smith and the Flim Flam Brothers, which I enjoyed. As much…
